“TIME magazine article praising the Uttar Pradesh government for its COVID-19 management”
What FACTLY found
The article in the ‘TIME’ magazine on Uttar Pradesh government’s COVID-19 management is not written by ‘TIME’. On the top-left corner of the article, ‘CONTENT FROM UTTAR PRADESH’ is mentioned. Many differences can be observed between the article on the Uttar Pradesh government and the articles written and published by ‘TIME’. Also, ‘TIME’ has clarified to ‘The Quint’ that the article on UP government’s COVID-19 management is a ‘sponsored content’.
